Yep, it really does(just played it recently).
i thought that was the case with Rogue Squadron and it was a hot mess. Pre 360 generation of PC games have been a mixed bag for my pc. Sometimes, I just donāt care enough to get it going. Its like burning games or trying rom hacks or homebrew games. If it doesnāt work, I just move on
Trust me, Republic Commando on PC is much better than the Xbox version.

OH! Thanks for mentioning thatā¦ I was really entertaining trying out Republic Commando on the Xbox, but I canāt stand FPS games on a console.
I just checked my steam account, and I already own it! Iāll be trying this out for sure.
Also, be sure to read up on patches and such here to improve the experience: https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Republic_Commando
Same applies to KotOR 2 right? PC version is at least complete.
Not entirely. Wide screen patch was a nightmare for my old machine. It might be different on a newer PC for better or worse. AFAIK, shadow and force power effects are missing on PC due to their reliance on legacy hardware.
My personally preferred way to play it right now is on Xbox1. When hardware gets cheap again, Iāll build a new PC and maybe I give KotR ādefinitiveā PC mods and patches another try.

Iām gonna have to try the restoration mods soon, Iād much rather have more content and quicker loading times than extra effects and KOTOR2 is one of my all-time favorites.
Jade Empire is underappreciated though, another all-time-great (Xbox) game and what I feel to be the last great Bioware game.
The Bioware games, Fable, Morrowind, The Bardās Tale, and a few Iām surely forgetting; the Xbox was a RPG powerhouse.

I donāt knowā¦ I saw it as the weakest system for RPGs of that generation to be honest. It all depends if JRPGs are important to you I suppose.
Oh yeah, youāre out of luck with JRPGs for sure. I sure had a blast with all the WRPG love the Xbox got though.
I should have some of the raw audio files for Sudeki somewhere.
Does anyone here own the HD Link cable?
I know it works reasonably well but I would trust the opinion of someone here more than some random review.
Got some extensions to try and make my new-old-stock JP Xbox controller usable (the one on the right):
Surprising how many little differences there are between that and the S controller.
Thereās are differences other than the logo?
The buttons are different; on the JP pad the labels ABXY are recessed into the button itself rather than inside the clear plastic. The cord is way shorter and made of a clear green plastic. The analog stick plastic feels different too, it has less texture (and itās not from wear).
The XBOX jewel logo is obviously different but there are a few other logos changed or missing like the Microsoft logo doesnāt appear anywhere on the JP one. Itās pretty clear they did another plastic mold for the S controller.
The overall mold is more or less the same, I have a prototype from before the console launched with the regular s badge too. The triggers pull a bit different though as another small change.

I ordered the Type - S from Japan back in the day. It got brought over shortly after. I hated how short the cable was as a result.
Been playing dead or alive 2 ultimate. Itās shocking how good this game still looks on a crt. Could easily pass for an early 360 game. On the other hand either Iāve gotten super rusty or Tina is a monster. Literally been stuck fighting her for the last 10 minutes.
